In 3rd, & 4th year of the OT program: WC topics selected based on the local WC users current needs and the availability of trainers and labs educational resources: Seating biomechanics | Postural supports | Manual
WCs | Powered mobility and seat functions | WC functional outcomes | Clinical Implications | Role of OT in WHO 8-Step Model* | Accessibility for WC users
We are launching an outreach campaign to raise local awareness about quality WC services and the availability of the WC training program. We will be targeting clinical and educational institutions in Jordan (i.e., hospitals, rehabilitation centers, & universities). We are expanding to include WC users to better understand and meet their needs, and more students from other rehabilitation programs (i.e., physical therapy, orthotics & prosthetic). We hope that would have a positive significant impact on WC users who are the first benefactors and the real motivation behind all of this effort.
We used WHO Wheelchair Service Training Packages* (Basic & Intermediate levels) plus other educational resources. A variety of teaching methods and learning
strategies were applied: inquiry-based learning | problem-based learning |
project-based learning | evidence-based
practice, case-study approach | clinical
scenarios | experiential and blended learning.
Lectures and labs provided by an ISWP Certified* Wheelchair Service Provider.
After assessing the students' knowledge and needs, the Wheelchair Training Program was proposed at Rehabilitation Departmental meeting and to Academic Affairs Committee. The program was approved and integrated into the academic curriculum of the OT program as part of two mandatory courses.
